Jeremiah Weed 0 Posted November 24, 2008 Fellas. My fan comes on and stays on my 360. It never shuts off. It plays fine but sould the fan be on that intensly and loud. Dave, Mine was doing that a lot, so I bought a cooling fan for it for about 20 bucks. This is what I bought: http://gear.ign.com/articles/703/703791p1.html It cut the noise and workload of the Xbox down significantly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

May have to get one of those but still would like to know why it all of a sudden starting doing that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How is it sitting and what is it sitting on? I had to send mine back twice after RRoD until I figured out that you can't have it on carpet and you can't have it standing on end.

If I remember right (I'm not at home right now), the intake for cooling air is on the side that you have on the bottom right now. I got mine off the carpet, laid it down flat, and put a fan blowing cool air into that intake, and I haven't had any problems since. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JediMaster 451 Posted November 24, 2008 I've also heard that flat is the best way as far as cooling. You have some limited space there, unfortunately. I have mine flat next to the 5.1 system and the wife's Wii on top of my old-style 65" CRT projector set, that has plenty of real estate up there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Dave 2,318 Posted November 24, 2008 I moved the TV back and laid it flat. I for a fan for it now too. We shall see. I never play my 360. I got some games for my son for Christmas so now it will get used. I just don't want it to crap out on him. That thing has been used for playing DVD's than games.
